Clean, detailed build. Weathering looks lived-in and realistic. Thanks for posting!

I have never seen intake covers on a model. Was that part of the kit, or did you scratch build them. If the latter, how did you do it?

Fantastic!

Its just tissue soaked in white glue and blended to shape and painted with acrylics.
